I am going to trash my Comp Hyd rollers and switch to solid rollers.
Would you please provide a supplier for a good solid retro fit roller.
340 LA, X ported heads, Comp roller top end with a Comp 20-811-9 cam, stock oiling system 25psi to 60psi hot. Street A body auto trans application.
Engine made 452hp corrected on a dyno.
If at all possible I would like to be able to remove lifters without removing the heads.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for the hijack

If you don't have pushrod oiling use a good solid body lifter with a wheel diameter of .810 or bigger. They are usually .810-.815 diameter. Nothing with a .750 as that is just cheap *** Chevy junk. The core on the Chrysler cams is bigger than Chevy, so the overall length of the lobe is bigger on a Chrysler for the same lift compared to a Chevy.

That means the small wheel has too much speed. So, solid body, big wheel, lash at .002 cold and if you are very VERY careful you can lash them at zero cold but you must warm up carefully. I've done it, but you've got to get some temp in the engine before you best on it.

The Crower and Crane Pro Series (not the junk *** regular crane lifters with the .750 wheel...long story) are probably the best cost verses quality I've seen for lifters.
